Raw materials can include: insulation, nails, used boards and logs <br />(made into boards and firewood). <br />Together with the CLC, HEARTH Cycle and the HEARTH Wood and Crafts Thrift <br />Shop, all of our efforts as individuals and as a community will work together to create and <br />share a "common wealth" which will not only support and underwrite activities and <br />facilities but enrich all participants, the surrounding community and our most precious <br />resources ... people. <br />REACHING OUT FOR <br />THE COMMON WEALTH <br />This is what HEARTH and The Creative Learning Center are all about. And ... you are <br />invited and welcome in every way to be a part of it. <br />All in all, the facility and its activities will be as dynamic and rewarding as the degree of our <br />involvement and utilization. If we desire much of it, much will be returned ... so much <br />that it may stand as a model for more Centers like it all across the country. But, more <br />importantly , we -- much like the original natives of North America -- may find new positive <br />life experiences by heeding our need to reach out to, receive from and give to other people <br />and another culture , as is reflected in this the verse of this young Navajo poet : <br />Istand upon mymiraclehill, <br />Wondering of theyonderdistancc <br />Thinking, When willlreacb Them? <br />Island upon mymiracle hill. <br />The wind whispers in my ear. <br />Ihear the songs of the old ones <br />Island upon mymir-aclehill <br />My loneliness wrapsaroundme. <br />It is my striped blanket. <br />Island upon mymiracle hill. <br />The bluebird that flies above <br />Leadsme tomyfriend, the whiteman. <br />I come again to my miracle hill. <br />At last, Ikno w the al/ ofine -- <br />Out them, beyond, and hem upon myh1B <br />-- Emerson Blackhorse Mitchell <br />From John R.
